The first day of the last week of term saw plenty of excitement at Cunningsburgh Primary School!

First of all, some of the P6/7 pupils organised a “Cunningsburgh’s Got Talent” show for the school.  It was fantastic, and wonderful to see some of the talents on offer!  Well done to everyone who got up there and performed – you were amazing.  Here are some stillsfrom the P3/4/5 class’s performances.

Secondly, we had a visitor this afternoon!  Mike Mongo, an astronaut working with the Saxa Vord space port, came to speak to our class today.  He had an online session with the pupils last year, but we were very lucky that this year we were able to have a visit from him in person.

Mike inspired the class to be what they want to be, and not to let others tell us that we ‘can’t’ do something!  I think he also inspired the glasses wearers in P3/4/5 to try a new style…

On Tuesday 13th June we were very lucky to have a visit from Marian, Mary and Joanne from Taste of Shetland!  They spoke to us about lots of different ingredients, and we made mackerel pate and salad to eat with an oatcake.  We also got to try some home made rhubarb fizz! Everyone in the class tried at least one new thing, which was superb.  The class got recipe booklets to take home with them, and more information about the  organisation can be found at their website: Taste of Shetland | Celebrating Shetland’s exceptional food and drink

I think several pupils went home wanting to make their own mackerel pate or rhubarb fizz!

We had a fantastic trip to Aith on Friday 9th June!  We went to Michaelswood for a play, had a picnic lunch outside the Aith School,  picked up treats from the Cake Fridge, ate our treats at the Burn of Lunklet and then had a paddle!  Luckily, the weather was perfect.  What a great day!

Here we are again!  So much for the wish I made yesterday for 3 full weeks until the end of term…!

Click the link below for some activities you can do today.  I have included some fun YouTube videos for practising times tables, but there are lots of different times table practice songs out there so let me know if you find another good one!

And I hope that if you do any of the experiments that you will share the results with me, and maybe take some photos!

Hi everyone, happy snow day!

Below are a few suggested activities for your day – there is no pressure to complete any of these, but I would really love to see some photos of your time playing out in the snow!  I hope you enjoy your day and that you manage to get outside.

Mrs Dade was a bit forgetful with taking photos during weeks 5 and 6, but the class were certainly very busy!

In week 5 we had our final drumming session with Joy, and we were lucky enough to get an extra dance session.

There was some fun play going on with tall towers, animal weddings and boogieing to the class playlist!

In week 6 we visited the museum thanks to a trip arranged by Mrs Burr.  We went to see the ‘Art’s Cool’ exhibition, which has art from school pupils from all over Shetland.  Some of the work there was by Cunningbsurgh pupils, which made us feel very proud.  The work done by other schools was very inspiring!

On the afternoon of the 1st December the class transformed the classroom into Christmas mode!
